Greetings ???I crafted a standalone WFP application of a new feature; works fine without issues. I spoon it in to our larger application and now Blend crashes/locks-up. I have traced this back to setting the ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer URL in XAML: If I remove the layer or URL, Blend is fine, however this creates new issues: The EXE can???t parse the XML and complains that the URL needs to be set or resolved ??? even though I am doing this in codebehind.I can create the layer independently in codebehind and add it to the Map component, but again ??? this creates new problems because our GraphicsLayer has a custom MapTip tied to it, and I do not have enough information to properly add a MapTip style on-the-fly (I want to post this as a second question :o)Unfortunately Blend-crashing has become a real problem for our UI developers. Is there another way we can work around the dependency? I???ve already added if (!DesignerProperties.GetIsInDesignMode(new DependencyObject())) { //our code }
after InitializeComponent(), but this issue with the URL is a tricky one, and I don???t think Blend should need to go make a fetch to the service.Thanks, K
